Lol so this was on headbangers ball?

[QUOTE=Britton]Lol so this was on headbangers ball?[/QUOTE]
yeah they've been playing good stuff on there though.

Has Trivium (the whole band) ever played on that?

Of course they have...first saw the video for "Like Light to The Flies" on that show...

[QUOTE=ICB]Yeah, the fat dude is the ex-guitarist of Fear Factory. Dino. The chick is Coal Chamber's ex-bass player. Yeah, that was one of the songs Matt was on for that Roadrunner compilation...it sucked :lol: .[/QUOTE]

yeah i hate that song, matt looks gay as h[I]e[/I]ll in the video too... the one with king diamond u mentioned is incredible tho

I just now started listening to Trivium. I got my friend to let me borrow their CDs. They are amazing. Great music, great vocals. Everything about them is awesome.

Yeah.. Horrible video. It's for the song "The End"

But In The Fire (king diamond sogn) Is the best on the CD..

Annihliation by the hands of god isn't bad either.

'The End' is by far the worst track on that cd. It's just so... plain, and wayyy to Nu-Metal for my liking.

Wow it must really suck then.

Who does Trivium remind you of the most?

A hybrid between Atreyu and Trash/black metal guitars...

Atreyu? Ugh.

[QUOTE=mr black]A hybrid between Atreyu and Trash/black metal guitars...[/QUOTE]


Black metal guitar?

You have got to be sh[SIZE="2"]itting[/SIZE] me...I mean wow, just wow.

Trivium seems to be ,

Thrash/metalcore to me

they're pretty trash influenced...but still general metal for me

I see some metalcore in them. With the breakdowns.

[QUOTE=Britton]Wow it must really suck then.

They have a unique sound, but they seem to be a mix of thrash, Gothenburg, and metalcore. Some of the soloing reminds me of Megadeth

Thats a good description.I dont think the thrash sound is as prevalent as maybe the metalcore and Gothenburg.Most of their songs arent quite what Id call 'fast' when compared to thrash bands like Kreator(old stuff, not the new Gothenburgish stuff, which I do love btw) and Death Angel, and are much more "mid-fast" pace like Gothenburg bands.And they are pretty metalcore with the occasional breakdown and clean singing parts."Dying In Your Arms" reaks of metalcore(which I also love btw).

I agree. I love the dualing leads

[QUOTE=Britton]I agree. I love the dualing leads[/QUOTE]

And the harmony soloing in Gunshot.Spectacular.

Sorry people, once again my idiot little brother has decided to make me look stupid by posting using my account.

Anyway i reckon they're a trash influenced Metalcore band at this point, their riff's, while not entirely metalcore, still hold all the breakdowns and call signs of a metalcore riff. The speed obviously is what gives it it's thrash feel, and the vocals are definatly metalcore at the moment. Although i saw Matt saying that they were taking out the gutteral vocals and replacing them with 90's Hetfield style vocals...
Personally i love Matt's studio voice on Ascendancy, but hey, im willing to see how they fare in the next album. Although all respect again to Matt as a guitarist but he can't sing clean vocals live.

Oh God I hope he gets some Hetfield vocals. That way he will be able to sing
the rest if his life

Yes, I see alot of potential in the band and they're not too bad, it would just be a shame for them to try and change their style too drastically due to all of the media attention they have been getting (god knows fame and money has changed alot of people). Personally I don't think that the instrumentals are bad at all, as a side note.

[QUOTE=Britton]Oh God I hope he gets some Hetfield vocals. That way he will be able to sing

You know he wants to, he acts like Hetfield so much on stage.

[QUOTE=Britton]Oh God I hope he gets some Hetfield vocals. That way he will be able to sing

For all you know he has gotten proper lessons on how to scream. Not all screamers will ruin their vocal chords.

Im in a metal band that has a screamer and he has watched this video called the zen of screaming and it tells you how to correctly scream.

Yeah, if you've read reviews from anybody who's see them in the past month, he hasn't lost his voice and his clean vocals have greatly improved.

[QUOTE=killa_bees77]no actually i DID go to Matt's middle school, Teague middle school here in Orlando, FL. I just turned 18.[/QUOTE]

lmao thats my surname.. sorry if this is random, but that name is probably the most rare name ever here (Northern Ireland) so one of my favourite all time bands had one of their members go to a school with my name :D

But you can tell he isn't screaming properly. When you come away hurting like he says he does that's not good. And yes the zen of screaming is really good...maybe we should pull our money together and buy Matt a copy.

also on another note Matt is in Guitar world this month asking Kirk some questions

[QUOTE=Britton]Oh God I hope he gets some Hetfield vocals. That way he will be able to sing

I think Trivium would not be as good with all clean vocals, I think next album he should experiment with some death vocals instead of his usual screams. He did death vocals for Capharnaum, why not Trivium also?

I've been listening to both Trivium albums for the first time in a while today, it reminded me how good this band really are.
They are way too good to be getting all the exposure they are ;)
